Gold.com announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with TPM, S.A. de C.V., or "Tether," whereby Tether is purchasing $150M of Gold.com's common shares. "Tether is one of the largest known private owners of gold globally and sponsors the largest dollar-backed stablecoin (USDT-USD) and the largest gold-backed stablecoin (XAUT-USD) - in each case in terms of market capitalization - as well as the U.S.-regulated stablecoin USAT... Tether has agreed to purchase approximately $125M worth of Common Shares and will purchase an additional approximately $25M worth of Common Shares following receipt of certain regulatory approvals. In total, Tether is acquiring 3.371 million Common Shares at an issue price of $44.50. This price represents an 11.9% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the NYSE as of market close on Feb. 4, 2026. The Common Shares will be subject to customary registration rights and a 90-day resale restriction. As a result of Tether's investment in Gold.com, Tether is entitled to nominate a member to the board of directors of the Company. The Investment establishes a strategic partnership designed to bridge physical precious metals and digital finance. By combining Gold.com's end-to-end gold infrastructure with Tether's global stablecoin platform, the parties aim to create a vertically integrated gold ecosystem. The collaboration is expected to enhance the credibility and distribution of Tether's gold-backed XAU stablecoin, expand Gold.com's retail and digital offerings, introduce gold leasing solutions, and drive increased consumer and institutional engagement across both platforms. Gold.com and Tether have agreed in good faith to use reasonable commercial efforts to enter into certain commercial agreements, subject to due diligence and regulatory compliance, including the following: Tether will provide Gold.com with a gold leasing facility of no less than $100.0M; Gold.com will reasonably accommodate accepting Tether stablecoins as payment, including allowing for certain promotional activities; and Gold.com will reasonably promote Tether stablecoins on its websites and such other mutually agreed upon activities that will help support Tether stablecoins. The Company has agreed to invest $20M of the proceeds raised from the Investment in Tether's XAU stablecoin," Gold.com stated.
